This way, son.

Thanks, Don.

F***!

Are you okay?

Is that the evidence?

It's ninety percent of their case.

Look I know it's hard,

it gets a lot worse

when it goes to trial.

What do you mean when?

Isn't that why you're here?

To take me to court?

That's what we thought

too until this morning.

The trial's been postponed, Sean.

The computer forensic

experts need more time.

How much time?

Could be a couple months.

Procedure is long.

Life is short.

I've been trying to tell

you that from the start.

I know pleading guilty is

against your principles,

and I respect you for that,

but principles will not

end this vicious cycle

of abuse you're in.

What do you say we

put an end to all this?

Your honour, at this time my client

would like to enter a plea of guilty.

Mr. Randall, do you understand

that you are pleading guilty

to planning an attack

on twenty-seven people

in this town?

Yes.

Please speak into the

microphone, Mr. Randall.

Yes.

Do you understand that

you're making this guilty plea

of your own free will,

and that no one in any way

is coercing you to make

this statement today.

Yes that's right.

Is there anything else you wish to say?

No, sir. Just I'm sorry, I guess.

Sorry I guess?

Mr. Randall, sorry I guess doesn't

restore the damage you've

caused this community

or diminish the impact

on the lives of those

you've threatened.

Your honour, please,

my client may not be

particularly eloquent,

but he is deeply remorseful

and sorry for what he's done.

Mr. Randall, is that true?

Yes, sir, that's true.

I'm granting an order of release

with conditions. Mr. Randall.

Due to the violent and

disturbing nature of your

intended crimes you are

prohibited from attending

any school within district thirteen.

Not only can you not

attend, you cannot step foot

on school property.

You are also prohibited

from communicating,

directly or indirectly, with any victim,

witness, or other

person identified in the

no contact order.

That's twenty-seven

people, Mr. Randall.

Twenty-seven people who

don't want to see your

face ever again.

So, I didn't know what

to do with your room.

I just closed the door... left it.

I didn't know how you'd feel.

It feels weird... like

someone else's room.

Maybe it is.

I mean, maybe you changed.

I talked with Barry.

He said that you can have

your computer and all your

stuff back, just a couple of

formalities to go through.

What about your guns?

I don't get those back.

Part of the deal.

Part of what deal?

The deal to get you out.

Sean, um, I was thinking, you know,

with the school ban in

effect and everything,

that maybe you want to come

work with me at the rink,

help out some, earn yourself a

bit of cash.

How's that supposed to work?

The whole hockey team is on that list.

I checked with Barry.

He said that as long as you're

upstairs when they're on the ice

it's no problem.

They have a schedule,

you have a schedule.

I don't know.

Can I think about it?

Yeah, absolutely!

No hurry, take your time.

I'll leave you to settle in.

Can I get you a sandwich or something?

I got some of that thinly-shaved

turkey breast you like.

Yeah, that sounds great, thanks.

I'm glad you're home, Sean.

Sandwich then.

Hey.

Pittsburgh's playing, you want to watch?

I'm reading.

No pressure.

Thought I'd mention it.

Two dollars each?

Thanks.

Look at you.

Dirt under your fingernails.

That reminds me.

First pay cheque.

Aren't you going to open it?

Right.

Probably know how much

is in there anyway.

Don't forget, there's deductions.

I guess I should start

saving for plastic surgery.

What are you talking about?

People think I'm a psycho, dad.

No, they don't!

Everybody I talk to knows it's bullshit.

You should've seen them

gawking at me at the mall.

You just like thinking that way.

I saw Deanna.

Didn't go up to her, just saw her.

I should hope not.

I don't know.

I guess I wanted to.

Give her a chance to explain herself.

When are you going to realize

she's not your friend, Sean.

Never was.

I heard Jimmy Cooke's

selling his wife's Dodge.

Probably let it go for fifteen hundred.

Consider going in on

it with you if you want.

Oh, come on, Talbot!

How do you miss that?

When did my stuff get here?

I don't know, earlier sometime.

My car got vandalized.

The net was wide open!

What did you say?

My car got vandalized.

What?

What happened?

What did you do?

Nothing... except

plan a school massacre.

"Get your f***ing hand

off me, you cocksucker... "

"Are you recording me?"

"Sean!"

Hi.

Hi.

You look different.

That's kind of the general idea.

How are you?

Alright.

Just working now, just got my own car.

Yeah, that's cool.

How about you?

How long have you been working here?

Just like a month.

It was my dad's idea.

He knows the owner, so that's how he

keeps tabs on me.

Anyway, I just -

wanted to say I was sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

I feel sick to my stomach

about what happened.

I don't talk to Cory anymore.

Not at all.

You know the cops came

to my house and told me

that you had a plan?

I didn't have a plan.

It was just a story.

A story of revenge?

Where do you want to go?

Mexico.

I should have said something.

My parents are impossible to talk to.

But I should have said something.

I don't blame you for not trusting me.

When did you get the nose ring?

It's a nose stud.

Nose stud.

I like it.

So I was going to head to Johnny's,

half price burgers.

You want to come?

Actually there was something else I was

thinking about doing, but thanks.

Okay.

Next week then.

Hi.

Hi.

Your dad gave you his Lexus?

Told him I needed tampons.

Works every time.

No, you can leave your boots on.

Unless you don't want them to get dirty.

Um, the bathroom...

up and around the corner,

if you want to use it.

Okay.

Do you want to hang

out here or in my room?

Sure.

Which one?

We can go to your room.

Okay, it's just here.

Wow, the walls are so bare.

Yeah, it's part of my new look.

Or non-look.

Are those live maggots?

Yes.

I like the way you look.

I feel like I can see you.

You can actually read?

Yes, well, it's not exactly Dostoevsky.

Did you get that in jail?

Yeah.

I feel really bad.

Don't.

I kind of like it.

It adds character.

Is that your dad?

Yeah, just wait here.

There's a Lexus in the driveway.

Yeah, that's... Deanna's here.

Oh no, no, she's not!

She's leaving!

It's not a big deal.

You'll be arrested.

I won't be... I won't be arrested.

Is that true?

You could be arrested?

She doesn't know?

Know what?

You going to tell her?

There's a restraining

order and you're on it.

Hey!

Time to head up!

Hey, look who it is.

Careful, he's got a weapon.

So like I'm confused man

did you want to f*** her

or did you want to kill her?

F*** her then kill her?

Kill her then f*** her?

What did you want to do?

Sean! Sean!

What did you want to do man?

- What are you doing?

- I'm working!

- Hey, hey.
